Futurama impasse cleared

Quite a relief to see that (the overly greedy) Fox/Viacom baronies came to an agreement with the actors. It mentions Billy West, John DiMaggio, Katey Sagal, Tress MacNeille and Maurice LaMarche but nothing regarding Phil Lamar, Lauren Tom or David Herman who are equally important: respectively portraying Hermes Conrad, Amy Wong and Roberto. The new season would’ve sucked without the principal voices. It’s even noticeable when a frequent guest character’s voice is substituted which has happened on the Simpsons: Alex Rocco and Jan Hooks weren’t available once for Roger Myers, Jr. and Manjula.

Now I can buy the fifth season with less apprehension.
